Services & Process

Tree Needs provides the full range of tree care services that Des Moines property owners typically need. Removal handles dead, diseased, or structurally compromised trees that pose a risk to structures or people. Trimming and pruning shape healthy trees, clear obstructed sightlines, and remove limbs before they become liabilities in a storm. Stump grinding eliminates leftover stumps after a tree comes down. For trees showing signs of disease or pest damage, a health assessment can determine whether treatment or removal is the better path forward.

Tree Needs serves Des Moines and works throughout the greater metro area. Neighborhoods across the city, from the east side to the western suburbs, are within their service range. Call (515) 710-8509 to find out scheduling availability for your part of Des Moines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my tree is dead or just dormant in winter?
Scratch a small section of bark on a twig. Green tissue underneath means the tree is alive. Brown or dry material suggests the branch or the tree itself may be dead, and a professional inspection will give you a more complete assessment.
What's the risk of leaving a dead tree standing on my Des Moines property?
Dead trees lose structural integrity over time and become increasingly likely to fall, especially during the wind and ice events common in Iowa. A fallen tree can damage your home, fence, or a neighbor's property, and liability follows the property owner.
How often should I have my trees trimmed?
Most trees benefit from professional trimming every three to five years, though fast-growing species or trees near structures may need attention more frequently. A site visit gives you a tailored recommendation based on your specific trees.
What are signs that a tree near my house needs immediate attention?
Large dead limbs hanging over the roofline, a noticeable lean that wasn't there before, cracks in the main trunk, or significant root exposure are all reasons to get a professional out quickly. Don't wait on those situations.
Does stump grinding remove the roots as well?
Stump grinding takes the stump down several inches below grade but leaves the root system in place to decay naturally. If complete root removal is necessary for your project, that requires excavation rather than grinding.
Can Tree Needs help with a tree that's affecting my neighbor's yard?
Property line tree situations can get complicated, but they're common. In most cases, you have the right to trim branches that cross your property line, and a professional crew can do that work cleanly without damaging the tree. Discuss the specifics when you call.
